I would think it would depend on your fisheries. Here in MS we have a size limit on The Big Four and it helps. But they are COE flood control lakes and we loose more fish to the spillway during winter draw down than we do fisherman. A lake that is fairly stable and doesn't loose a lot of fish to the spillway might over populate. We are on 12 or 11 inch minimum depending on which of these lakes you are on and it helps.
